Embodiment Construction

[0025] Both FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the use of wideband modem channel bonding over 5 adjacent RF channels of received digital data, typically received via a cable network system.

[0026] Referring first to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a conventional channel allocation method. The bonded channel modem has a series of available channels n to n+14, and a series of 15 users from client 7 to client −7.

[0027] The conventional method is to allocate a group of channels, for example, channels n+5 to n+9 to a particular group of users, in this case client 2 to client −2. In this way, each of the channels n+5 to n+9 is available and so the five channels were accessible by only these five clients. However, this causes problems as previously described in the practical usage of the system when used with cable networks.

[0028] In accordance with the invention as illustrated in FIG. 2, there is provided a new and inventive allocation method between the channels and users. Using the same group of c...

Abstract

The invention relates to improved utilization of modems for data communication and particularly, although not necessarily exclusively, relates to use of wideband modems. The invention relates to a method for allocating groups of channels to users or groups of users in an improved manner, such that at least one of the channels in a group of channels is available to both a first user or group of users and a second user or groups of users. This is in contrast to the conventional method where typically a group of channels is only available to one user or group of users. The present invention provides large advantages over the conventional method for communications and increases the capacity for burst rate data communication via the modem.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority to British Application Number 0517843.9 filed 2 Sep. 2005. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not Applicable THE NAMES OF THE PARTIES TO A JOINT RESEARCH AGREEMENT [0003] Not Applicable INCORPORATION-BY-REFERENCE OF MATERIAL SUBMITTED ON A COMPACT DISC [0004] Not Applicable BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0005] The invention to which this application relates is the improved utilization of modems for data communication and particularly, although not necessarily exclusively, related to the use of wideband modems. [0006] Wideband modems are known to offer the ability to deliver very high bandwidth for data transmission and communication to individual users. However, it is known that significant spectral contention still exists in most networks, such as cable based networks on which digital data relating to a range of services such as television channels, internet and the lik...
